Liberation of Dissonance

By Bruce Bond

With its finely honed language and interweaving of free-verse couplets, poet and musician Bruce Bond has returned us to the world of structure and form as the framework for this profound exploration of dissonance in music, in art, in our lives and its underlying power to restore meaning and hope in a chaotic world.

Reviews and Comments

No poet writes about music better than Bruce Bond, and there are not many who can, poem after poem, combine such lucidity with such lyrical intensity

STEPHEN DUNN Pulitzer Prize-Winning poet for his collection "Different Hours"
Bruce Bond is one of our generation’s best poets.

LAURA KASISCHKE Author of "The Life Before Her Eyes"
A moving tribute to the power of music and the sensual life of the mind.

DORIANNE LAUX Author of "The Book of Men"
